"The IONICON LCU-a allows us to generate trace amounts of VOCs from aqueous standards that are analyzed with our developed biosensor devices. The unit has been adapted to provide a new strategy of electrical characterization at room temperature within biomedical applications, specifically for the H2020 HEARTEN project."

"The PTR-MS is great for us because it works very well for DMS and all its isotopes. This makes it great for doing process studies in which we follow the conversion pathways of environmentally important compounds. Because of its high sensitivity there is no need for preconcentration of samples anymore, which simplifies our analysis greatly. Also setting-up the machine is relatively easy, (essentially plug-and-play) which is very convenient in remote places."

"PTR-MS has potential in very long-term environmental monitoring and as a part of complicated and versatile ecosystem-atmosphere
interaction measurement system. With proper service we have managed to measure successfully already tens of thousands hours with a single PTR-MS instrument."

IONICON PTR-TOFMS instruments aboard the NASA research airplane An international team coordinated by NASA has recently investigated air pollution over the Korean peninsula. Two of IONICON’s PTR-TOFMS instruments were used to monitor volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in real-time aboard NASA’s DC-8 Flying Laboratory. The data gathered by scientists from the University of Innsbruck and Korea’s […]

Wood-plastic composites – replacing plastics with wood In the quest for new alternatives for crude oil based materials such as plastics, WPCs (Wood-plastic composites) seem to be suitable materials, used in buildings and in the automobiles production. WPC are natural fiber composites with properties of both plastic and wood. It is estimated that the production […]

Petrochemical Applications

Automotive

Real-time vehicle exhaust analysis

Monitoring exhaust gas from combustion engines, emitting a large number of different compounds and with rapidly changing concentrations due to variations in operating conditions, necessitates an instrument that measures in real-time and with high sensitivity – an IONICON PTR-TOFMS.

Biotechnology

On-line Monitoring of Bioprocesses

IONICON PTR-MS systems can analyze trace gas concentrations of volatile metabolites in the off-gas of bio-pharmaceutical fermentations in real-time. This highly relevant process related information can be used for on-line process monitoring and process control.
